Officer Daryl “Will Smith” Ward and Officer Nick “Orc” Jakoby have rescued a cactusfolk named Chim from the rift. She…

Which means things are…

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi has proved to be a controversial film, enjoying great popularity among film critics and slightly more than half of audiences.
